Description

Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 lb fresh green beans
Seasonings and Coating
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or fresh roasted garlic)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for roasting the green beans evenly and developing a delicious golden crust.
- Prepare Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, add the fresh green beans. Toss them thoroughly with olive oil, grated Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, salt, and garlic powder, making sure each bean is evenly coated in the flavorful mixture.
- Roast: Spread the coated green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet to promote even roasting. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the roasting time, stir the beans to ensure they cook and crisp evenly on all sides until they are tender and lightly browned.
- Serve: Once roasted, transfer the green beans to a serving platter. Sprinkle an extra pinch of Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor and a touch of elegance. Serve immediately while warm as a perfect side dish.
Notes
- For crispier green beans, use fresh, firm green beans and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Panko bread crumbs add a nice crunch, but regular bread crumbs can be used in a pinch.
- Freshly grated Parmesan offers better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated cheese.
- Adjust garlic quantity depending on preference or substitute with fresh roasted garlic for a deeper flavor.
- For a low-carb version, omit the panko bread crumbs.
